Wo Shing Wo

Wo Shing Wo is the oldest of the Wo Triads, founded in 1930 in Hong Kong. The triad was involved in extortion, drug trafficking, gambling, and prostitution, and the triad expanded across the world, finding support in "Chinatowns" in countries with significant Chinese populations. In 1950, Wo Shing Wo membership increased from 15,000 to 50,000 as the result of the Chinese Civil War, with many Hong Kongese refugees becoming triads. Wo Shing Wo, the 14K Triad, and the Sun Yee On triads are the most powerful triads in the world. The triad is allies with the Tiny Rascal Gang and the Big Circle Gang, and it is enemies with the Folk Nation, People Nation, Bloods, Crips, Pirus, Snu Ye On, Wo On Lok, and the 14K Triad.
